Free Resources for Holocaust Education
The TY module in Holocaust Studies is tailored to the amount of time teachers have available, as well as students' learning levels. It includes the opportunity to research and discuss the relevance of the Holocaust for students today. Teachers may have between 20-60 periods available for this programme in one school year and can adapt the content accordingly.
The Timeline Wallchart is designed to give a linear overview of the Nazi Holocaust in Europe, 1933–1945. It also prompts us to consider the consequences of the Holocaust and its relevance in our world today. The Handbook has suggestions for lessons, individual or classroom activities, special topics/lesson extenders and more.
We are also happy to send out physical copies of the wallcahrt and handbook, please email us if this is of interest.
Holocaust Studies for Senior Students is a high-quality package of thirteen lessons covering the most important topics of the Holocaust, free to download and available in hard copy. The course spans pre-war Jewish life, the rise of antisemitism, ghettoisation, deportation, life in the camps, resistance, rescue, and the aftermath, touching on other genocides before closing with student reflection. Each lesson pairs background information with primary sources, survivor testimony, and a PowerPoint. Before beginning, teachers should first complete The Holocaust Narrative e-learning programme, which offers a general introduction to the subject and provides essential grounding for the sensitive material ahead.
